" summary

Overview of practical work with Spring AI: a full pipeline for retrieval augmented generation that wires source data into vector databases and back into LLMs, a portable abstraction for LLMs and function calling, and explicit structured JSON outputs to make responses programmatic. Demonstrates switching models by configuration, a dozen LLM and vector DB integrations, and an example where test-skipping AI cuts Spring team build time by six days per week with 99.8% accuracy. Notes community and conference scale at Devoxx France.
